Great job!! You got the heads machined, but how come you didn’t deck the block?

Deck was checked with straight edge and feeler gauge, i also check deck at night with straight edge and torch, engine looked in great shape, i soaked piston rings too and cleaned top of liners, very little wear on liners, engine covered over 100k , thanks for comment, do you own a Rv8

That's an excellent job. What did you use in the restoration of the Exhaust manifolds, upper intake and valve covers? Looks brand new.

Exhaust, upper intake was soda blasted, then exhaust was cerakote, valve covers were powder coated, was a nice little project, did it for a friend, its a manual too, hes currently got it up for sale, thanks for watching video

As bad of a reputation these engines got you are now good for another 100,000 miles.

I'm going to be doing this soon. Could I ask why you didn't do the oil pump and chain? Do you recommend it?

The engine made good oil pressure, if i was doing a full rebuild then yes i would change as much as possible, suppose it comes down to cost and time, have you checked your pressure? Thanks

Mine has the same ticking issue, discovery VR2 1999, thought it was the exhaust manifold but I can see that airs coming from where the block meets the rocker arms and stuff :( no leaks of any kind, just sounds of pure air puffing out the side :(

Also, not a ticking noise, it’s air escaping just coming from the side :(
